Very few women on this planet can pull off wearing those puffy-sleeved, ruffly baby doll peasant-style shirts and dresses that are out there everywhere right now.

Just hideous.

Why do we let clothing manufacturers dictate what we wear.

I'll sew my own, thanks.

Did a podcast interview about the tenth anniversary of Rana Plaza for Sky News and it came out today.
Am pleased with it - they let me say what I wanted to say and didn't edit out the politics.
Please have a listen and a share if you like ▶️ 🎧 It's a good primer on what happened and why.

I honour the courage of those who have continued to fight for justice for garment workers.
